    Thank you! I couldn't see the kit at first, but I found the one for the 728VT. Do you have any suggestions for driver and steppers that would allow micron level resolution?

    Re: Best machine for ATC upgrade?

    I want to buy brand new. I see people have a hard time finding kits for CNC for certain models, and I haven't found any ATC kits. Just wondering if you were going to buy a new milling machine, and...

    Best machine for ATC upgrade?

    I would like to convert a mill to CNC, and add an ATC. Also want it to have resolution of 0.001mm. I was looking at Precision Matthews, but not sure those kits are available for that brand.

    Right... I merely brought it up because I wanted to show that it was turned off. Because if not, you would get that exact problem.

    Anyway, everything is opposite. Long tools are giving me less...

    Yep... Using an ATC. Tools from the same supplier, tried multiples of each, all brand new.

    I am seeing it on the slopes and floors, not walls. A straight line in the floor looks like an open...

    Finishing mistery

    I am trying to figure out why shorter endmills are giving me MORE tool marks than longer ones. Anyone ever seen this? Cutting wax with very small bits, and just looking for any kind of theory that...

    Help identifying a belt?

    Trying to get specs on this. Can anyone point me to instructions on measuring belt teeth for shape, size and spacing?

    Here's a picture of it. There's a stamped code on it as well that reads...

    Re: Is this possible?

    Oh, and I only cut wax with it. It's essentially built for wax, but they sort of dropped the ball with the belts. Everything else is truly impressive. Rigid structure, great programming, high...

    Re: Is this possible?

    I really don't want to modify it if it can be avoided. This is my fifth purchase of a light CNC, and I like it for what I need with the exception that there is a lot of backlash. Not traditional...

    Re: Is this possible?

    Thanks guys... The main board is completely integrated with an ATC, sensors, carriage board, etc. I suppose replacing the entire logic system is doable, but it's actually very well made, and other...

    Re: Is this possible?

    Thank you... So, they're being controlled directly from the inaccessible main board, which does need to be there (obviously). There doesn't appear to be a controller board that can be replaced. Is...

    Is this possible?

    Hi everyone,

    I'm interested in converting my belt driven CNC to use lead screws on all 3 axes. I have no problem making the parts to actually install them, but I know very little about Steppers....
